"Developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials
(NACCHO) in collaboration with the Orange County (FL) Health Department and the
Louisville (KY) Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness to address the
challenges facing localities preparing for mass medical countermeasure
distributions to populations during disasters. This guide primarily focuses on
planning for Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) responses in urban or suburban
areas that have difficulties meeting 100 percent prophylaxis coverage of their
population within limited time frames using traditional indoor points of dispensing
(PODs)."
